<< "Lying is a strong word. Stretching the truth is more likely." >> I see.

And many people will take that to mean the deceptive, exaggerated or distorted version of events are THE TRUTH. So when does one cross the line & actually become a liar? truth - in accordance with fact : ACTUALLY - the state of being the case - FACT the body of real things, events, and facts - ACTUALITY - the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality lie - to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive - to create a false or misleading impression - mean to tell an untruth
